With only 2,980 actual miles from new, this gorgeous example may be the finest in the world. There were only 50
manual 6-speed Vantage V12 coupes imported, so it is safe to say that this is an extremely rare car here in the
States.

This Aston Martin was purchased new in Atlanta by a collector that had an eclectic collection of exotic supercars.
They were all kept in a climate controlled showroom and driven sparingly. Car has been recently serviced with a
brand new full size Interstate battery and a fresh set of Michelin Z rated Super Sports have been installed.

She is in as close to as-new condition as you could ever hope to find for a 15 year old car. If you ever wanted one
when they were new with a manual 6-speed, but couldn't afford it, here is your opportunity. This is a genuine
British supercar by all modern standards.

This car features four important options: The burled walnut trim package, the spare tire, the walnut steering wheel
and the steel coolant overflow purge tank that was a $1000 replacement over the original plastic unit. The cost of
a bespoke walnut steering wheel ordered presently from Aston for this car is $3,500. The spare tire kit included a
complete trunk shelf and liner kit. The tool kit is present and in unopened containers.

The color is pearlescent silver metallic and the interior is black leather with cream leather inserts. Every panel
in the interior is leather including the entire dashboard, the entire seats from front to back, entire door panels
and even the rear partial shelf. The leather is sumptuous and exudes the highest most luxurious standard. The
carpet is the highest quality British Wilton wool. The all leather interior aroma is intoxicating and is overall
exquisite.

Additional interesting information. This car's transmission is the world class Tremec T56 6-speed manual shift. It
is the same style that is used in Corvettes and modern Mustangs. Shifting is smooth and precise. Changing a clutch
is easy and straight forward by simply removing the transmission...unlike the DB9 with a torque tube that requires
several people to man handle and two days repair time. It uses a standard style clutch that lasts and lasts vs. the
DB9 that may last only 10k miles at best depending on your driving style. This is the best bonus of this car from a
mechanical repair aspect...and is added to the positive experience of DB7 ownership. Involvement with Ford in this
era had some great benefits. Being a retired Jaguar tech and extreme gearhead, I love the engineering that is
straight forward. I wish that they would have used this system in the Jaguar XK8...but then, that would have been
too much competition for the DB7 with the manual transmission...as Aston, Jaguar and Ford were all intertwined at
that time.



The car has always been in the South. It has never had any salty road exposure and most likely has never been
driven in the rain. The paint is flawless as in no chips, dings, dents or repairs whatsoever.

Aston Martin wants to be the Hermes of the car world

Thu, Dec 10 2015

Aston Martin doesn't want its wealthy potential customers to perceive the brand as just another sports car maker. The company wants to transform those perceptions so that buyers see its products as luxury goods on par with high-end accessories. If this change can successfully bring in more cash, the business could consider an initial public offering in the coming years. "We seek to position ourselves as the automotive equivalent of Hermes, not as the counterpart of Ferrari." CEO Andy Palmer explained the change to Bloomberg, referencing the boutique French brand. The desire to change buyer impressions comes as Aston Martin pivots away from a focus predominantly on sports cars and more towards high-performance luxury vehicles. For example, the company already has sedans in the lineup like the Rapide and Lagonda Taraf. The future range will also reportedly include an electric Rapide and another Lagonda. The production version of the DBX crossover (concept above) will add one more segment around 2019. However, Aston Martin won't completely abandon coupes because the DB11 will arrive in 2016, and a new Vanquish and Vantage will eventually follow. For Aston Martin to have a future, Palmer believes the company needs to look in new directions, especially with models like the DBX. According to Bloomberg, execs there hope that appealing to more customers could help the business see a net profit in the next three years, which hasn't happened since 2010. To save even more money going forward, the business recently cut 15 percent of its workforce mostly from white collar employees.

Aston Martin hoons its DB10 for 007

Thu, Sep 24 2015

It always goes back to Skyfall, doesn't it? On November 6, 2015, we will join James Bond again as he hunts for another piece of his past, one that has grown into a dark, evil creeper known as Spectre. Since Aston Martin is now nearly just as synonymous with Bond as the agent's nemesis Blofeld, it's certain that the carmaker will have just as much fun as we do during the buildup. Or more fun, perhaps, judging by this spot. The rather handsome DB10 is put to work sending the world a message for the spy we love the most, and blows a lot of smoke in the effort. You can watch that in the video above. Speaking of smoke, if you haven't got enough of the pre-release action yet there's another video below with director Sam Mendes and his special effects minions showing what went into creating the practical effects on three continents, like flying a helicopter down a Mexico street. Enjoy both.

James Bond's Aston Martin DB10 sells for $3.5 million

Thu, Feb 18 2016

We expect the person that just paid 2,434,500 pounds ($3.48 million at current exchange rates) for James Bond's Aston Martin DB10 from Spectre enjoyed a stiff martini after writing the check to Christies. The sale price shattered the original estimate of at least $1.4 million. The proceeds from the coupe's auction went to Medecins sans Frontieres, and the movie's memorabilia brought a total of 2,785,500 pounds ($3.98 million) for charities. Aston Martin made just 10 examples of the DB10 to shoot Spectre, but the crew modified most of them to film the movie's stunts. This was one of two that the production left untouched. It's also the first DB10 available for sale to the public, and actor Daniel Craig signed the car. The DB10 features a carbon-fiber body that's perfect for the world's best known secret agent, and underneath the beautiful design, these cars have the platform, 4.7-liter V8, and six-speed manual gearbox from a V8 Vantage. Even though they use production-based parts, Aston Martin doesn't certify the DB10s for public roads. However, we presume the new owner has a sprawling estate to enjoy his or her purchase.
